As a student... many years ago, I had a student subscription for the New Scientist magazine. I used to read the cartoons first... I guess I was that kind of student. Naturally the cartoons were of a science nature, they had a good strip called the "Grimbledon Down", a research centre, with government and "Big Biz" connections drawn by Bill Tidy.

Going back to the 70's now, the strip lasted a while.

Not sure if it was the same guy, but I remember seeing a cartoon of two lab rats in a maze. One rat says to the other (various boffins standing about... watching said rats) "I have these scientists perfectly trained now... I run though this maze correctly, and they give me food." . Saw a recent news article that suggests lab rats make "mistakes" deliberately.... however that is not the purpose of this note.

This came up on my Twitter feed, not expecting any award, just illustrating the nature of the game. -g-

Here is a real socialist speaking from the heart. One I actually admire.



class guy.
